Turkish judge probes PM 'cash stash' calls

  • 10 years ago
A judge in Turkey has launched an investigation into leaked recordings purportedly catching the Turkish prime minister discussing how to hide large sums of money with his son.

The inquiry was launched on Tuesday, a day after the tape was dismissed by the office of Recep Tayyip Erdogan as a "dirty" fabrication, but opposition parties have called on the government to resign.
